Title
Ring fragment from Wickenby
Description
English:

Copper alloy gilded

Ring fragment. About half of a cast round section ring with a coating of red-tinged gold over a base metal core. One end of the ring is broken, the other end is stepped and the plating goes over this stepped terminal.

Gold or gold-on-base-metal rings and penannular rings are characteristic finds of the Middle to Late Bronze Age (1300-800); those where a gold finish is produced by plating of a cast rod are speculatively identified as 'hair rings' or ear rings: the stepped terminal here would make the latter usage possible by crimping a tress or lobe. Suggested date: Late Bronze Age 1150-800 BC.

Diameter: 21.5mm, Thickness/Diameter (rod): 6.9mm, Weight: 4.12gms.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Lincolnshire
